I’m still going through my sunshine-obsessed phase. When will it finally start getting warm again?!!

Thoughts please on [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f], with my newest nickname crush, [name_u]Sunny[/name_u], for short?

I think it’s absolutely darling! You just can’t not love [name_u]Sunny[/name_u].

I’m never quite sure how I feel about [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f]’s sound, but I think I like it and I adore [name_u]Sunny[/name_u]!

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f], dislike [name_u]Sunny[/name_u]. [name_f]Niva[/name_f] could be cute!

I completely adore [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f], and [name_u]Sunny[/name_u] is a wonderfully bright nickname.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f], hate [name_u]Sunny[/name_u]. [name_f]Niva[/name_f] is my favorite nn

I don’t like [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f] at all, but I do love [name_u]Sunny[/name_u]! [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Summer[/name_f], [name_f]Sunday[/name_f], Sunvive? Or maybe something ending in -son: [name_u]Addison[/name_u], [name_f]Alison[/name_f], [name_u]Madison[/name_u]?

I like the look of [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f], and [name_u]Sunny[/name_u] is a darling nickname. [name_m]How[/name_m] is it pronounced? I did a quick google, but I ended up hearing several different takes on pronunciation.

Thanks for all the responses so far

[name_f]Sunniva[/name_f] is pronounced close to SOON-ee-vah (hard to write phonetically!)

Is it too unfamiliar in an English-speaking country, do you think?

I adore [name_u]Sunny[/name_u], and I really like [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f] as a longer form.

I don’t think it’s too unfamiliar for an English speaking country especially with the nickname [name_u]Sunny[/name_u]. I think it’s darling

I think looks wise, it would go over okay, but the pronunciation may be hard. That said, I like how you said it was pronounced, but I don’t think it’d be super intuitive for English speakers.
